Knowledgeable, Patient and gets right to the point.

Alex is patient and understands the areas that my daughter needs the most help in. She is positive and enthusiastic after each tutoring session which is extremely important to us. She loves her tutoring sessions. Thank you so much for all of your help, every session has been good and we look forward to our next lessons.

Knowledgeable, Patient and gets right to the point.

Alex helped my 3rd grader with memorizing her multiplication tables. She was struggling on her multiplication assessments beforehand. He was very experienced with how to find her strengths and weaknesses. He knew how to gently challenge her and what ways worked best for my daughter. She reacted very well to the tutoring sessions and she was very proud of her passing assessment. It has also helped her confidence level as far as that goes. I plan on using Alex again in the future, maybe regularly. Thank you so much for your help and hard work!

Extremely Knowledgeable Algebra 1 tutor

Alex is an extremely knowledgeable tutor with tons of patience, which is exactly what my son needed! He also helped me refresh my Algebra skills so I could help my son after the session was over. I highly recommend Alex !!!

Very Comfortable Session, Very Knowledgeable!

My daughter needed help studying for her ACT, Alex made my daughter feel comfortable instantly. After the session she said he was nice, that's the same thing she would say about Mother Theresa, so believe me that's a BIG compliment.

Very responsive

I appreciate that Alex was able to adjust the schedule on short notice due to our conflict. We had another good lesson and Alex was well prepared and waiting for us, like always. Thank you.

WOW!

My daughter had been out of school for 2 years and when she took her math entrance college test, it was a flop. As she came out of the testing lab, her reply when I questioned how she did was an almost tearful: "I did really bad but I know I knew how to do that math in high school. If I just had someone to remind me, I am sure I would do better." She stated she was able to take the test again within a few days and that is when I decided to see what I could do. Not being from the area, I quickly Googled Myrtle Beach Tutors and I came across this website. I found Mr. Alex's info and decided I would email just to see if this was an option. Mr. Alex contacted me within two hours and my daughter had a scheduled a session that evening. I have homeschooled my 4 children so tutors were an asset I had used in the past, but was I surprised when Rachel came afterwards and informed me that Mr. Alex was the best tutor she had ever had. She was excited to see how well she might do the next time she took her math test. As I was not there during the tutoring session, I really cannot say what all transpired, but what I can gladly write is how the results are. My girl was able to return to the testing center with confidence after only two hours with Mr. Alex. She scored over 40 points higher the second time on her test, which allowed her to skip two extra math classes, saving me over $1600 for the cost of the classes had she took them and two semesters of her time. Not only did it save us time and money, but it also gave her the extra boost of confidence to head on into the harder math with the knowledge that she can do this...and if she needs help, she knows Mr. Alex is there to assist her. Thank you Mr. Alex. You did awesome!
